Yo yo yo! Beta here with an all new HCD chappy! Hooray!

Sorry I haven't been uploading but with school and all...yeah...just read the story :)

Disclaimer: The usual...

Jo's POV

Saturday...

"No!" I yell.

He ignores me and walks away. I try to follow him but the stupid wall stops me. There goes the boy of my dreams and the rest of my life...

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groan and throw a pillow at my alarm clock. It's the flipping weekend for crying out loud! Why is it even on?

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groan again and roll out of my bed. My head hits the corner of my nightstand. Ouch...

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I pick up my alarm clock and chuck it across the room. It hits the wall with a loud smash!

Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Seriously?!" I scream before running to the garage to get a hammer. Mom will be so ticked...

I groggily go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Then I pull on my house robe and go downstairs to eat break. I'm on my third bowl of Rice Krispies when the doorbell rings. I groan again then get up to open it. Standing on the other side is none other than Gabe Duncan.

"Hey J—" Gabe cuts short, looking me up and down.

I feel my face go bright red. "What do you want, Stupid?"

"I came to work on the cloud project. I can't afford to fail again. My mom would kill me," Gabe says like it's the most obvious reason in the world.

"I hope you realize you were supposed to come over three darn days ago!" I scream at him.

"I know, but I've been so busy with my girlfriend..."

I raise my eyebrows. "You have a girlfriend? Yeah right!" I laugh.

At that exact moment, Juliette walks in.

"Hey babe," Gabe says hugging her and giving me a look that screams 'I told you so!' I roll my eyes.

Juliette hugs him back. "Hi Jo!" she smiles at me, not paying any attention whatsoever to my horrid appearance.

"Hi," I reply absentmindedly. I'm too busy gawking over how much prettier Juliette looks compared to me.

Juliette looks twice as pretty as she did last time I saw her. Her long brunette hair is pulled into a thick French braid and she is wearing the cutest vintage tee and skinny jeans ever. No wonder Gabe likes her over me. Not that I actually care or anything...

"What is she doing here?" I ask, snapping out of it.

"Well, since there were no groups left for Jules to join, I asked Mr. Trench to let her join ours. He said no of course. Then she blurted out a bunch of random cloud facts and he changed his mind. My little Juliette is so smart," he grins.

"Aww thanks," Juliette gushes. "But you know that I was just reading off some random cloud fact poster." They start rubbing noses together, then end up...kissing.

Awkward...

"Is there a bathroom?" Gabe asks as soon as they're done.

I roll my eyes. Of course there's a bathroom! It's my darn house! I point down the hall.

"Come back soon Romeo," Juliette giggles.

"I will Juliet," Gabe replies kissing her cheek before heading to the washroom. Gosh, they're acting like they won't see each other for years. He's just using a washroom!

Juliette turns back to me. For a second I swear I see hatred in her eyes. It's quickly replaced by another large smile. "I guess it's just you and me then. Let's go for a walk." Juliette yanks me out the door before I can protest.

As soon as we're away from the house her smile disappears. In its place is a scowl uglier than mine. She slaps me across the face.

"What the heck!?" I exclaim, my natural instincts forcing me to flip her. She crashes onto the pavement with a loud thud. She's about to get up and lunge at me but then she suddenly stops.

"Ow!" she wails, tears forming in her eyes. Her mascara is running and her lip is quivering. She looks so sad that I almost feel guilty. Maybe she meant to swat at a bee or something? Somehow I knew that wasn't the case.

"What the heck is right," I spin around. It's Gabe.

Uh oh...

"What's your problem, Jo?" Gabe screams at me. His face is so close to mine our noses nearly touch. His breath smells like a mixture of bacon and chocolate chips, the best combination.

"My problem is that your girlfriend just slapped me across the face!" I scream at him. He takes a step back.

"I highly doubt that," Gabe snorts, reaching to help Juliette up.

Juliette bawls louder. "My-my ankle. I-I th-think it's br-brok-en," she sniffs. Gabe helps her up.

"Wow Jo. I cannot believe you. I've always known you were violent, I am too, but seriously?" he says before walking off.

"But Gabe—" I start but he's already gone. My heart drops. I can usually handle this kind of drama but not this time. Something keeps telling me I should run after him; prove to him that Juliette is the guilty one.

You must fight for the one you love. You must fight for the one you love. You must fight for the one you...

"Gabe! Wait!" I scream, but he ignores me. Ugh, typical. I start running after him.

"Gabe! Gabe!" I'm about to catch up to him when I trip on a stick. Suddenly I'm head first in a mud puddle.

I hear Juliette laughing at me but I don't bother look up. I don't care to see the face she's probably giving me right now. I don't care to see the face she's giving Gabe, probably a gross romantic one. I don't even care to see Gabe's sweet face. Ew! Did I just say that out loud? Ugh never mind. I don't care to see his face either.

I'd rather stare at mud.

So as you may or may not have noticed, so far this story doesn't have much to do with Crush Day. Don't worry though. As the story progresses Crush Day will become a major part in this GLC fic. Also if you think you can predict what might happen next, think again. I will type this once and only once (actually I'll probably type this again in the next A/N); THIS FANFIC WILL HAVE A LOT OF PLOT TWISTS! Trust me, I have a good idea of what will happen next and it's not pretty. One word: DRAMA!

So yeah. Thx for reading. And PLZ PLZ PLZ review ;)

xoxox BETA (Beautiful Energetic Troublesome Artist) That's me! :D
